Rise Southern Biscuits & Righteous Chicken at 16248 Frederick Rd (on the border of Gaithersburg/Rockville), in the Rock Grove Center on the corner of 355 and Shady Grove Rd, will open open this Sunday, February 19th at 7am. The restaurant will hold an official grand opening ceremony sometime in March. The North Carolina-based biscuit chain is known for their buttermilk-brined chicken and currently has Maryland locations in Columbia and Towson. Menu items include biscuit sandwiches, biscuits & gravy, fried chicken strips, and donuts.
The new store is the third location for father and son franchisees Francis & Christopher Kirley. “After the success Rise has enjoyed so far in Maryland, we’re excited to bring the brand to more people in the city,” said Ken Priest, CFO of Rise Southern Biscuits & Righteous Chicken. “The Kirleys are just some of the many successful franchisees that are helping Rise expand our national footprint.”
Per MCPD: A Gaithersburg man has been arrested on charges related to a fatal pedestrian collision that occurred on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. 47-year-old Davinder Singh of Gaithersburg was arrested on Friday, February 10.
The investigation revealed that Singh was driving his Toyota Prius west on School Drive when he struck and killed 65-year-old Miguel Antonio Ortiz and 70-year-old Ana Margarita Ortiz, a married couple from Gaithersburg, who were crossing the street to vote at the school polling place. Singh was found to be driving under the influence of alcohol.
Sardi’s/Olney Station (3418 Olney Laytonsville Rd, Olney) will open at 11am on Tuesday following an issue with the exhaust system that caused the restaurant to temporarily close on Monday night. Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services (MCFRS) and county health inspectors have cleared the restaurant to reopen for business as usual starting Tuesday morning.
We spoke with owner Phil Sardelis who let us know that the safety of the Sardi’s employees and customers is always his number one priority. “The exhaust system at every Sardi’s location is cleaned every two weeks and unfortunately the recent situations have been freak occurrences.” Sardelis told us. Insurance claims were not filed for the recent fires at both the Gaithersburg and Olney location as the ultimate goal has been to fix any potential issue and get the restaurants open again. The Gaithersburg location will likely reopen in a few weeks as they await the arrival and installation of a fan for the exhaust system.
